Alternately you can enable a Compiz plugin called Shift Switcher - you 
can set it up as an alternate to alt-tab and it can include all 
workspace windows.  For example I have Super-tab setup as all 
workspaces, and alt-tab as only the single workspace I'm working on.

If you need to enable you should search Synaptic for the Advanced Compiz 
Configuration Utility, install it, and then use it to enable to plugin.
